Moving Created Buttons

This works, but uses the default looking button:

var btn:Button = new Button();
btn.move(200,200);
addChild(btn);

This doesn't, with my pretty button:

var btn1:Button1 = new Button1();
btn1.move(200,200); // If I comment this line out, the button draws, but is in the upper left as expected
addChild(btn1);

The linkage for my created button has Button1 for the Class, and flash.display.SimpleButton for the default class.

you're using code for a button component. components are compiled movieclips that can have their own custom properties and methods. so, you wouldn't expect your code to work for a member of the button class.

i'm using code for the button class which has its own properties and methods. you would expect the code i used to work for the button component because it inherits from the movieclip class and the movieclip class also has x and y properties.

You're my hero.

Now is it possible to get a quick explaination for why they're different?
